Answer:

The acceleration vector always points towards the centre of the motion. This is referred to as centripetal acceleration. It accounts for the centripetal force that tends to pull the object in circular motion towards the centre of motion.

Consider the diagram below;

it illustrates a body in circular motion along the black circle, with the acceleration vector a shown by the orange arrow pointing towards the centre of motion and the velocity vector v shown by the green arrow pointing tangentially away from the circumference.

Answer:

$16.25^{\circ}$

Explanation:

R = Horizontal range of projectile = 75 m

v = Velocity of projectile = 37 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

Horizontal range is given by

$R=\dfrac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{Rg}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{75\times 9.81}{37^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=16.25^{\circ}$

The angle at which the arrow is to be released is $16.25^{\circ}$ .

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

Whats the force of gravitation of a 10kg rock and 100kg boulder which are 5 meters apart

spayn [35]

Answer:

F = 2.6692 x 10⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the rock, m = 10 kg

The mass of the boulder, M = 100 kg

The distance between them, d = 5 m

The gravitational force between the two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. It is given by the formula

<em> F = GMm/d² newton</em>

Where,

G - Universal gravitational constant

Substituting the given values,

F = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ x 100 x 10 / 5²

F = 2.6692 X 10⁻⁹ N

Hence, the force between the two bodies is, F = 2.6692 X 10⁻⁹ N
